Wii YouTube app now available

Well, this is odd. Visit the Nintendo Wii Channel and you can now grab a free YouTube app. Going by the announcement on the YouTube blog, the app is restricted to US residents only, but expected to reach other countries soon. The Wii is nearly six years old; its successor, the Wii U, launches in the US this weekend and hits Europe at the end of the month, and releases with a YouTube app built-in.
